Good Morning,
My first stop would be the IT department to see what they have available in screen reading and speech to text (something like Dragon Naturally Speaking), this would allow them to access websites and documents as well as produce documents without the need to type. Most operating systems have Accessibility features built in to help with this as well.
For projects maybe reviewing your websites and public materials to make sure they are compliant with best practices for accessibility. Maybe working with audio based interpretive materials (we have a QR code you can scan to access information about the collection via audio via a web site on a mobile device). Starting a program based around iPods or something that can be loaned out to visually impaired visitors. There's also a tactile interactive exhibit opportunity. Basically anything to make your collection more accessible and it can be done using tools that someone who is visually impaired could easily work with. I would think rather than try and work around their visual impairment, why not embrace it as a unique chance to expand access.
Take care,
Jim
